With views of rolling hills and pastures, this two-story home has an open floor plan. The house, located on almost 11 acres, also features a first-floor primary bedroom, additional social areas on the second floor and a finished basement.

Listed for $949,000 by Key Realty, the stone-and-vinyl home at 770 Carpenter Road has about 3,632 square feet of living space. The primary residence sits on just over an acre, well off the roadway down a long gravel drive. The surrounding 9.713 acres has open fields, mature trees and hillsides within Sugarcreek Twp. A large Cleary pole barn is nearby and has about 3,456 square feet of storage. A concrete driveway is near the home’s two-car, side-entry garage and offers additional parking pad from the gravel drive.

Built in 2020, the house has volume ceilings, wood-plank vinyl flooring and flexible social spaces on each level. The formal entry opens into a foyer hallway with double doors to the left that open into a designated office or study. To the left, the formal dining room has access to the gourmet-style kitchen and wide stairwell to the lower level.

The great room, kitchen and morning room have panoramic views of the countryside. The morning room has the best views with sliding patio doors that open out to a covered rear porch.

Wrought-iron railing accents the staircase to the second floor where three bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a family room are located.

The open stairwell to the basement ends between a spacious recreation room and a possible exercise area or flexible space. The recreation room has carpeting, a built-in bookcase and is plumbed for a wet bar tucked into the nook near the stairwell. A bump-out room could be a media area as it has overhead lights and no windows.

A hallway leads to a full bathroom, which has a single-sink vanity, walk-in shower with glass doors and wood-grain ceramic-tile flooring. At the end of the hallway, a door opens into an unfinished space that has an egress window, allowing for a possible fifth bedroom.
